An overripe banana is a must ingredient for making delicious banana cupcakes. If you don’t have an oven to bake a banana cake, you may try to make this soft and fluffy steamed banana cake. You may make it into small banana cupcakes by steaming it in ramekins or make it a small cake by steaming it in a 6-inch square baking pan.
Another way of dealing with overripe bananas is making them into banana cakes and banana fritter balls. Check out these recipes so you won’t have to waste any bananas anymore.

Steamed Banana Cupcakes | MyKitchen101en
Ingredients:
- 150 g (½ cup mashed) overripe bananas
- 2 eggs (grade A/size: L)
- 140 g (½ cup + 2 tbsps.) fine sugar
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 60 g (¼ cup) evaporated milk
- 70 g (5 tbsps.) corn oil
- 150 g (1 cup + 3 tbsps.) plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
Instructions:
1 Line 6 ramekins (6-oz/175-ml) with parchment paper.
2 Bring the water of the steamer to a boil (the amount of water should be enough for 25 minutes of steaming).
3 Mash bananas with fork, set aside.
4 Whisk together eggs, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl until combined.
5 Combine 1000 ml of water with 400 ml of hot water in a large steel bowl to yield 45°C/113°F of warm water.
6 Place the mixing bowl in warm water, then whisk the egg mixture over medium speed until stiff. (Reminder: You need to stop for a few times during this process to avoid overheating of the equipment.)
7 The egg mixture is stiff (the ribbons formed by egg mixture will stay on surface for a while before dissolving slowly).
8 Add evaporated milk and corn oil to mashed bananas, mix well.
9 Add ½ portion of beaten eggs to banana mixture, mix until combined.
10 Whisk together flour, baking powder and baking soda, then sieve into banana egg mixture, mix until combined.
11 Add in the remaining beaten eggs, mix gently using hand whisk.
12 Fold the batter gently until well combined using spatula.
13 Pour the batter into lined ramekins, tap a few times on counter top to burst large bubbles.
14 Steam over high heat for 25 minutes.
15 Steamed banana cupcakes are ready to be served!
Reminder:
If you don’t have ramekins, you may steam the cake using a 6-inch square baking pan. The steaming time is 45 minutes over high heat (do not open the steamer before 30 minutes or the cake might collapse).

Finally! I found a recipe of banana cake I can make .. without an oven !!!
Why do you beat the eggs in warm water?
Beating eggs in warm water will shorten the time for it to become stiff.
i tried the recipe.. and they were legit yummy amd so spft and fluffy.. thank you much!
Can you use the oven instead? Same for 25 mins?
Should be ok. Test the doneness by inserting wooden skewer in the center of the cake, 25 minutes should be ok as the cake is small.
I tried the recipe.. and they were legit yummy and so soft and fluffy.. thank you much!
Thanks for the recipe! The corn oil and evaporated milk can be optional right? I tried using cocoa nibs and half the amount of sugar (raw brown sugar instead of white) and it tasted amazing too. I also feel that overripen bananas already have a certain sweetness so reducing the sugar was great for me. What i do like was the steamers! I’m so getting them at Daiso when i go next.
I try a few of your recipes n they turned out well cant wait to try this one thanks
I’ve tried cooking it just now….I’m very satisfied…sooooo yummy..thank u Mykitchen101en
